Utilization of a Skin Graft From an Amputated Hand to Cover Reservent Below-elbow Amputation Wound.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case involves a 58-year-old man who sustained a severe left forearm injury from a motor vehicle accident. Imaging revealed comminuted fractures and arterial occlusions in the left forearm. As the injury was crush type and exploration revealed vessels with avulsion, the decision was made to perform amputation due to nonsalvageability. The patient underwent irrigation, debridement, and amputation, followed by coverage via a full-thickness skin graft from the amputated hand. Postoperatively, the patient received antibiotics and wound care, resulting in successful graft integration and healing. This case highlights the use of a full-thickness skin graft from the amputated limb for stump coverage, demonstrating that if the patient refuses to take a graft from other common sites, the amputated dorsum of the hand can be an excellent alternative site.
